Ghaith is an Arabic name meaning "rain", specifically the welcome rain that relieves a drought, and by extension "help" or "relief". It is a common name in the Levant, the Gulf and North Africa. In the United States Ghaith was given to only a handful of boys a year in the mid-2010s; it has climbed from number 9025 in 2015 to number 1839 in 2023 and number 1702 in 2025, its best rank yet.
